[olug] Point of Sale/Bookkeeping cross-platform?

[Eric Lusk]

Yes, the biggest advantage is that I'll be calling the shots.  The only downside there is that I'm lazy, and my games largely run in Windows (that's changing slowly but surely with some Wine tweaking).

 I ran the Harry Potter books through a spell checker; none of those spells should work.

LemonPOS is a QT4/KDE4 program, so it probably can ported to Windows
without too much hassle.

KMyMoney is a QT3/KDE3 app however, and would need to be ported to
QT4/KDE4 first to run on Windows.

However, if this is your business and you get to call the shots, and
you can find all the software you need on Linux, do you need Windows
support?
